Hudson Hornet from the '60's

Nitroman: hope Gary is doing well. Say hi to him from a former competitor (53 Olds guy). Will check for pictures, but don't think I have any. Best of luck. Ron.

Yep, Dad is doing well for 71, soon to be 72. About 3 weeks ago he had a very minor heart attack which was actually blockage in a stint they put in 4 years ago. I mentioned your name to him, and after a couple of seconds he said "OH YEAH !! He's the one that bought my old car hauler". Definately brought back some memories for him, I guess from what he was telling me, it was either you, or possibly your brother that ran into him at Indy last year ?? It's a lot of fun with him still having his car and it still being basically like it was back then. I just wish there was a competitive class we could enter with it.

I'm really enjoying this thread-thanks for the discussion-when I moved up to Oneonta back in '77 there was still a garage servicing Hudsons on Rte 23 between Catskill and Windham-I kept the receipt from that garage-I still have it and I value it almost as much as my Woodstock tickets.

Just west of Crown Point IN at the In/IL border is a Hudson garage. Empty but building and signage is or was still there 5-6 years ago. Dad has started his conversion from auto to stick. Trying to get it done before the AZ heat.

I like it as well, just wish I could drum up some old racing pics. I sure thought someone might have history collected up, I'm beginning to think in that day nobodoy cared about the photos or the memories they would bring someday. Same as my Dad or I wouldn't have to try to beg them out of someone on here.
